Why Cybersecurity is Essential to an Organization
IT security is an approach to strengthen the perimeter of the data center to prevent the invasion of external factors; while providing necessary access to users to execute the intended purpose of the software.
Cybersecurity is no longer just a technology. It has an extensive impact on the political and commercial sector also. Cybersecurity has become a crucial part of any company because protecting privacy is preserving human rights and freedom, especially to the application that connect to the internet or to each other. Cybersecurity needs to be implemented from the early stages of the software life cycle development process to ensure data protection and safety against cybercrime.
The complexity and frequency of cybersecurity threats are increasing parallel to the IT evolution. Organizations are taking advantage of the latest technologies available to both increase business operations and to enable data protection.

Managing devices
The adoption of IoT has to lead to numerous connected devices, many of which don’t have proper built-in security. With an increased number and range of mobile devices employed by users, enterprise networks had a mounting struggle to neutralize the risks involved. The enterprise needs to have control over this trend and emphasize some control over the use of unmanaged devices and establish clear protocols for managed devices.
Inventory
According to security professionals, a cyber attack caused by an insecure device could be catastrophic for their company and very have a security protocol that can disconnect the devices at the time of the attack. It’s essential that the enterprise takes a practical approach to this exposure. Establishing a real-time inventory of all connected devices is the first step to identify and safeguard against threats whether connected through Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or by a physical connection.
Blockchain for IT security
Blockchain technology provides one of the best tools available to protect data from hackers, preventing potential fraud and decreasing the chance of data being stolen or compromised. Blockchain enables data storage in a decentralized and distributed manner, which helps in eliminating a single point of failure and prevents hackers from accessing and compromising large volumes of data.
Inside threats
Most organizations don’t have the visibility about the user behavior, which makes them exposed to insider threats. Organizations have to enforce strict control over the activity of their IT environments to keep sensitive information secure and prevent Insider breaches.
Risk and Trust Assessment
Continuous Risk and Trust Assessment Approach (CARTA) ensures safety against behind the perimeter attacks. Its perspective of security is a continuous process that changes all the time and has to be regularly reviewed. Real-time assessment of risk and trust will allow organizations to make better decisions regarding their cybersecurity and neutralize the risks associated with suspicious user activities.
